U.S. Attorney Kacavas applauded the continuing efforts of law enforcement in the area of drug enforcement in Manchester, stating, “Law enforcement has a long history of investigating and seeking prosecution of complex drug networks in and around Manchester, yet they understand and recognize that street level dealers, such as Eric Fullwood, pose a real threat to the community if left unchecked. This case, and many more similar cases, demonstrates that law enforcement are dedicated to the investigation of drug trafficking on all levels, both large and small, in an effort to eradicate drugs from New Hampshire. This case also demonstrates that the street level distribution of small amounts of controlled substances results in the receipt of significant sentences.”
